DIG DEEPER

Kyle Murray '15 and I have been best friends since we were roommates during out first year at Hartwick. After performing the movement "Mein" together, we decided to combine our junior recitals and perform the entire song cycle. This beautiful setting of romantic German poetry tells the story of a young man as he tries to express his deep emotions for the young miller-maid. The piece is, in all aspects of the word, a duet of piano and voice as Schubert uses the music to represent scenic elements and paint an image of the miller’s last days in the world of the living.
